The suburbs are either the worst or best of both worlds, depending on your point of view. Either they offer the conveniences of the city but with more personal space, or the downsides of the city (traffic, etc) with none of the benefits of either the city or the countryside. I expect that Steely and I come down on the same side of that debate.
But an apartment complex in the middle of suburbia is obviously a losing proposition. Living in the suburbs and not even having square footage, a back yard or owning the dirt? What’s the fucking point?
